Driver killed after tree falls on car during storm in Surrey
Two vehicles were struck. A tree fell across Highway 10 in Surrey's Cloverdale area during the overnight windstorm, killing one driver and leaving the other with minor injuries, according to Surrey Police Service.
CBC British Columbia's report places the incident between 182nd and 184th Streets. The highway initially closed overnight before partially reopening, with footage showing downed power lines and crews responding.
The report follows the broadcaster's earlier coverage of South Coast storm risks, including falling trees, debris and landslides. That coverage described widespread power outages and canceled ferry sailings. The Surrey report drew more than 53,000 views within seven hours, far beyond the channel's usual first-day audience for a Short.
Alongside the account of the fatal incident, CBC includes a warning from B.C. Hydro spokesperson Whitney Deane: "Always treat a downed wire as if it's live." She advises staying at least 10 meters away, roughly the length of a school bus, and calling emergency services rather than the utility.

The numbers
The Surrey report drew an unusually large early audience for CBC British Columbia's Shorts. Its earlier South Coast storm warning also attracted far more views than usual.
